camatv Posted March 8, 2015 Author Report Posted March 8, 2015 actually.. set the cylinders up for the thick sleeve. with the sleeves out cut the triple in the sleeve and some in the cylinder. reinstalled sleeve and then finished it all up. worked good on low bore. i almost did another set with alluminum sleeve and nicko plating.

Surfrjag Posted March 8, 2015 Report Posted March 8, 2015 are those cyls now prone to cracking due to all the material removed right by where it is bolted up? Quote
registered user Posted March 8, 2015 Report Posted March 8, 2015 i dont see the point of stuffing in thick sleeves cut open sides and weld appropriate areas. done Quote
camatv Posted March 18, 2015 Author Report Posted March 18, 2015 no they are no cracking. i leave lots of material where they are weak. the externals of the cylinders are also welded where a crack might start inside trough area is completely filled in with weld. to not have to weld the cylinders. and much less likely to have coolant leaks. ( this was about 18+ years ago at the time the fully welded triple port stockers were prone to coolant leaks internally after they heat cycled a few times. ) Quote
